LikedWe received a very friendly greeting on arrival and were shown to our room. We had everything we needed, plenty of tea and coffee supplies after our long journey. The shower worked well and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great, very close to the BIC which we were going to in the evening for a show; it only took us a couple of minutes walk, so was perfect.
